Is the size of GET data limited only for the call or also in the response?

Question

I've seen that GET requests are size limited due to the browser not accepting excessively long urls.

But is there also a limitation in size in the response ($_GET)?

your link to another question doesn't answer mine, I ask for the response, I know that the url parameters are limited. — Vincent Teyssier, Feb 05 '16 at 08:32
@hherger thanks that what I was looking for, no limit at all, thanks a lot — Vincent Teyssier, Feb 05 '16 at 08:32

As per response in the the comments on your question. If your responses are in json format. Then they have no limitations.

You may want to take a look at this to see how different browsers perform with large json responses how-big-is-too-big-for-json
